The how and why of taking time (literally) out of the practice to work ON your practice with Drs. Julie Helmus & Paul Mormon, OD

December 15, 2025

Almost every business owner knows they need to spend time working ON and not just IN their business. But what does it mean to take that concept to a whole new level by traveling and spending time outdoors with colleagues and strategic partners? Whether you choose to take time out of your business to work on your business and do it across town or across the country, this conversation with Drs. Julie Helmus, OD and Paul Mormon, OD talk about what it takes and means to truly invest in yourself by finding your tribe and community. This is also a perfect time to remind you, the listener, that in addition to sharing what Paul has created with GRT, the concepts and benefits we’re discussing in today’s episode are what we are striving to accomplish with OD Masterminds (link in the show notes). The important NBS for you: find your tribe and structure that fits you best—and helps you make progress.
